So my friend Holly who does personal styling and in-home shopping consults for CAbi offered to send me one piece from the fall collection to feature on the blog. I admit, I actually had a difficult time choosing! But, in the end, I went with this sleeveless blazer. Or, I suppose, vest. Vests (aka sleeveless blazers) popped up this summer as a great layering piece that adds extra interest to an outfit without adding extra warmth or bulk.

On an end of summer/beginning of fall day it was actually the perfect piece to pair with pants and sandals. When it’s cool enough in the morning to need a jacket but warm enough to ditch it by the afternoon a sleeveless blazer is a great compromise.

I suspect I will be wearing this one with dresses, skirts, and other colors of pants throughout the fall and winter! Plus the length is great for wearing with leggings.

I can’t remember all of them– I’ve seen a bunch on Pinterest but haven’t pinned them because I don’t have a sleeveless blazer (yet). I really like them belted over dresses, but I also like them paired with jeans and worn over a long-sleeve top (belting optional). I’ve also seen them casually worn over a pencil skirt and button up top. Hope that helps!

This is actually WAY classier than I envisioned upon hearing “sleeveless blazer.” I was expecting something more along the lines of a blazer with the sleeves cut off, a la bros in the weight room, but this actually looks quite nice! I like all the detail on the bottom too — makes things way more interesting.

Ooooh, I really like the look of sleeve-less blazers, it’s a very lean and almost an edgy look they lend to an outfit and I think you were right in going with this garment as your pick from the collection! I really like the personality it adds to a pair of basic black pants and those strappy sandals are so sexy, it’s a very sassy, edgy look. I wouldn’t say its too retro a look at all, the actual cut of the blazer keeps it from looking dated.

I do really like the retro look of the sleeveless blazer, but I’m having a hard time picturing it for fall/winter. Can’t wait to see what you do with it then (which is to say, I can’t wait until it’s not 90 degrees out!).
